Huayu special effects started in 97

At the China Film Digital Base, Reba was filming in front of a green screen under great pressure, but there was no sign of the male lead Wu Jing.

It turned out that in order to speed up the filming progress, Jiang Heng divided the crew into two groups, A and B.

Jiang Heng led Group A to the digital studio to shoot shots that required special effects rendering.

Wu Jing led Team B to shoot scenes related to modern plots outdoors, especially military action scenes, which were fully handed over to him.

Wu Jing was delighted but also felt a great deal of pressure. I heard that he started to get blisters on his mouth not long after arriving in another place.

Jiang Heng, on his part, was leisurely filming and handling the company's business from time to time. He felt quite comfortable.

One day Du Huan came over and said that Zhang Yimou’s new film would start shooting after National Day.

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Okay, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Perhaps because of his inexplicable fondness for Qin Shi Huang, Zhang Yimou's fantasy special effects blockbuster still takes the Qin Dynasty as its theme.

It tells the story of how after the King of Qin unified the world, many monsters suddenly appeared on the grassland and often went south to invade the Qin territory.

These monsters were huge in size and extremely fast. They fed on civilians and wreaked havoc in the northern border.

Naturally, the First Emperor could not tolerate this, so he ordered Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 northward. After paying a terrible price, he finally defeated the group of monsters.

For this reason, the important officials in the court were divided into two factions. Some thought that a large army should be sent, while others thought that the defense should be strengthened and a long wall should be built in the mountains to resist the monsters.

The First Emperor finally decided to build the Great Wall and sent his eldest son Fusu north to take charge of all affairs.

A few years later, the First Emperor died of illness while on tour.

Li Si and Zhao Gao forged an imperial edict to establish Hu Hai as emperor, and at the same time sent an envoy to Fusu, ordering him to commit suicide.

Fusu could tell that the letter was fake, so he discussed it with his trusted generals. All the generals expressed their willingness to follow Fusu back to Xianyang and seize the throne.

Unexpectedly, an unprecedented wave of monsters attacked. Fusu was faced with two choices: lead the army back to the capital, or he might be chased and killed by monsters that crossed the Great Wall, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the army.

But the most likely possibility is that a group of evil beasts are wreaking havoc in the north, so much so that no roosters can crow for thousands of miles.

After all, these monsters feed on civilians. They go south to find food, not to fight.

It is still clear which one is easier to capture, the Qin army or the civilians.

Fusu had been in the north for many years and knew all this. As long as he gave up the Great Wall defense line and the people nearby, he would have a great chance of returning to the capital and ascending the supreme throne. After all, the empire's most elite and capable troops were stationed here.

But when he thought about the miserable situation of the people when he first arrived here and saw the rampant monsters, he couldn't bear to be cruel.

In the end, Fusu decided to lead his troops to defend the Great Wall and resist the army of monsters.

After his decision was announced, the soldiers were silent for a moment, and then burst into thunderous cheers.

Because they had been guarding the border for so long, many soldiers settled down here. Some soldiers were recruited from the local area.

Once Fusu led his army back to Xianyang, it would mean that their families would die in the belly of the monster!
The decision was made, and with everyone working together, 300,000 Qin troops relied on the Great Wall defense line to fight a desperate battle with the group of monsters.

Because of the presence of the king who commanded the monsters, this attack was more fierce than any previous one, and many Qin generals died in the battle.

Fusu and Meng Tian were also seriously injured, but fortunately they finally defeated the Beast King and eliminated most of the monsters.

When he was dying, Meng Tian asked Fusu, "Sir, don't you regret it?"

Fusu replied: My father has carried out the legacy of six generations, unified the country and brought peace to the country. I can destroy the monsters, protect the people in the north, and keep the Qin Dynasty safe, so I have no regrets!
In the end, Fusu and Meng Tian both died of injuries, and the Qin Dynasty perished in a great uprising a few years later. The whole story was polished by Zhang Yimou and the screenwriter team. The fictional story is integrated with history, and the core is still the way of sacrificing oneself for the sake of the world.

Among them, Fusu is the absolute male protagonist.

Zhang Yimou chose the little-known Huang Xuan, thinking that his temperament was very suitable for people's imagination of Fusu.

Speaking of these two people, they knew each other as early as the filming of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Because Zhang Yimou originally chose him to play the 19-year-old little prince, but Zhang Weiping manipulated Jay Chou to join the group, the little prince was changed to 14 years old, and Huang Xuan was eliminated.

Zhang Yimou felt a little apologetic about this. When there was a suitable role at this moment, he naturally thought of Huang Xuan first and recommended him to Jiang Heng.

Except for the male and female protagonists, the rest of the characters in the film are all well-known veteran actors in the circle.

With Zhang Yimou's influence, it is naturally effortless to find actors.

Seeing that preparations were almost done and Huang Xuan, Yang Mi and the others all had a good foundation in action scenes, they decided to start filming ahead of schedule.

Jiang Heng had no objection to this.

I just told Du Huan to pay attention to filming safety and never cause any accidents.

Secondly, in terms of filming expenses, try not to overspend.

Du Huan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Lao Mouzi and I are not the kind of people who spend money lavishly!"

Jiang Heng nodded without commenting.

Du Huan added: "That glamorous Wang Changtian has been working hard to promote Lost in Hong Kong recently. Do you think we should do something about it?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Of course, the copyright of the Lost on Journey series is in our hands. Xu Zheng didn't even say hello and teamed up with Lao Wang to make Lost in Hong Kong. If there's no response at all, there will be a lot of infringements in the future!"

Du Huan nodded. He thought so too. "Then how about scheduling the films?"

Jiang Heng waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. The data and information about the film scheduling are clear at a glance. It's too obvious!

Later they complained to the media, saying that we were bullying the weak and that suppressing them was not a good idea!"

"Yeah, that's right. We didn't do anything, but there are still many people complaining online all day long, saying that we are suppressing them in various ways. What about this?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "It's easy. We'll arrange for someone to make use of the film's reputation!"

Du Huan's eyes lit up. "You mean, his film might not be of good quality?"

Jiang Heng nodded. "Lost on Journey does reflect the current situation of the difficulty of returning home during the Spring Festival. Lost in Thailand is also a different approach, showing the Thai style. Lost in Hong Kong is just a small place, what's there to be embarrassed about on the road?"

Du Huan nodded and said with a smile: "Don't say that his filming may not be good. Even if it is good, the reputation may be affected by public opinion. Don't worry!"

After chatting for a while, Du Huan left in a hurry and Reba came over.

"Why, are you in a hurry to film?"

"No, I saw the weather was too hot today, so I bought some cold drinks for the crew. This is for you!" He then handed over a cup.

Jiang Heng took it with a smile, took a sip with a straw, and it was indeed much cooler. He said to Reba, "Not bad, that's thoughtful!"

Reba smiled innocently, "I just feel that everyone is working hard on the filming, so I want to help improve it a little bit!" (End of this chapter)
